This week on Battle Bards, Syl, Steff, and Syp sail off to Norrath for a good dose of EverQuest 2. It's a truly massive soundtrack with plenty of stellar pieces to plunder, although it does sound suspiciously more like a movie score than something in an MMO. Intentional or not? Listen and decide for yourself!

This week on Battle Bards, we finally get away from singling out one MMO to doing another theme show: city tunes! What tales do these virtual metropolises have to tell through music? The bards are kicking up their feet in their home towns and telling their favorite memories that these songs evoke!

(Apologies on the sound quality in spots -- we had a devil of a time recording this due to several power outages!)
